Guess what products won't be able to do this?

"EICTA, the body representing consumer electronics industries in the European Union, recently announced their new "HD ready 1080p" product qualifier.

Up until now, there have been many company proprietary logo's on the market attesting to "full high definition" or "Full HD" capabilities of a flat screen TV. But from now on, products in Europe that meet a set of minimum technical criteria will carry the "HD ready 1080p" logo. It has been designed for flat screen televisions that can receive, process and display high definition 1080p signals."

It shouldn't be hard to figure this out. I'll give you a hint:

All 1080i hd-dvd players from Toshiba.

i've noticed retailers here are pretty good about only putting "Full HD" labels/stickers on 1080p products.
too bad the average consumer doesn't know there's a difference between 'HD' and 'Full HD', these are the consumers Toshy preys on.

Well, the terms themselves could be better.

It's like those strip joints near LAX that not only advertise "Nude" but "Fully Nude", English-wise, nude already means no clothes so WTF.

Personally, I like how Sony puts it, "Beyond High Definition".

If you take the definition of HDTV as what is defined by the ATSC broadcast standard, it specifies that "High-definition television has a resolution of
approximately twice that of conventional television in both the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) dimensions and a picture aspect ratio (H × V) of 16:9. ITU-R Recommendation 1125 further defines “HDTV quality” as the delivery of a television picture which is subjectively identical with the interlaced HDTV studio standard.

The highest broadcast resolution for HDTV is 1080i, so 1080p is, naturally, "Beyond High Definition".

I seem to remember that HD television in the U.S. could be 720i, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p. 720 is a lot more than SDTV's 480.

The paragraph quoted in my earlier message is straight for the ATSC Digital Television Standard (A/53:2007) in their definition of terms.

ATSC specifies 18 different DTV resolutions and frame rates combinations.

Resolutions are 480p/i (640x480 or 640x704), 720p, 1080i/p, where 720 and higher, which falls into their definition as approximately twice the vertical and horizontal resolution of NTSC is considered HDTV.

1080p was not defined as a transmission format however, at least not now.
